Whooping it Up

I have been waiting for the announcement of the opening day for the Santa Sack Swap and my partner Kim sent me this wonderful sack with all these cute Holiday Tabby scenes - she knows I love my furries.

I had gotten wrapped up in some other things when Kim sent me an e-mail that she had opened her gifts from me - oops.  So I finished up, cleaned up, and dumped that sack.

I had to open the box first because it had Kim's really cool label on it.  And she kind of gave me a hint some where along the line. This adorable French Limoges Box (and I actually have two that were my gr. grans).  I knew Kim was quite the cross stitcher, but did not know that she was also quite the porcelain painter.  LOOK!!  My furries!!  Now this could have been my only gift and I would have been just as happy.

I just love the saying and the soft, earthy colours (her stitching puts mine to shame) are a treasure.  And so nicely finished with tapestry backing and the rich cording.

And this gorgeous towel with pointsettia and holly - too pretty to use, but this is going to be displayed and I'll slap knuckles if they spoil this.  The gorgeous cable knit scarf - love anything with cable.  

All my goodies together.  Yes, there was that cute little pincushion ring with specialty pins - too, too cute!!  Thank you Kim for making my Santa Sack Swap so special.

And one of our quilt guild members dropped this off.  Another Whoop!  I know it is only a local calendar (area realty firm), but........

I may not have been a 'month' (Schoharie County Quilt Block Trail), but I am on the back collage for The Airing Of the Quilts.  Yup, that old brick house with the clothes line full of quilts is the house on the hill at the end of Quilt Lane.
